Tiffany Chapon is training in her workout gear. In a new social media post the powerlifter shows off her strong body in a two-piece exercise set while getting her body ready for the big competition. “Last straight line before France,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “After a few not-so-great adventures, we begin the last days, the last training sessions and the cut.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Strength Training
As a powerlifter, strength training and lifting very heavy weights is Tiffany’s main form of fitness. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
2. Hydration

Tiffany always has a water bottle nearby, as she understands the importance of hydration. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
3. Hiking
During her down time you can find Tiffany hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
4. Walking

Tiffany also walks as part of her training regime. Here she is walking on the treadmill. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
5. Supplements
Tiffany ensures she gets all the nutrients she needs by taking supplements. What is in her stack? Collagen, creatine, omega 3, and multivitamins, she revealed in one of her Instagram Stories.
